Man City take Premier League to court
Manchester City are ready to go head-to-head with the Premier League, following the Premier League rulebook, as reported by the Sun.
According to documents submitted before the hearing, Man City feels that the regulation change, which requires all related party transactions to pass the "fair market value" standard, was created to "discriminate against owners."
)
The Etihad Club also claims that the Premier League rulebook as a whole, which mandates that every regulation modification be approved by a two-thirds majority, should be eradicated.
This is because the regulations were initially implemented in direct response to Newcastle's 2021 takeover.

According to City, sponsors that have ties to the club owners should be free to set their own prices, regardless of an unbiased assessment.
A win for Manchester City in the lawsuit would upend the Premier League regulations as a whole and possibly cause anarchy.
